# Planner – Al Tayer Group

Al Tayer Group is hiring a Planner for Ounass, the group’s luxury e-commerce platform, in Dubai. Al Tayer Insignia, the luxury retail arm of Al Tayer Group, has spent more than four decades bringing international fashion and lifestyle brands to the UAE and the region, and the group also runs the luxury e-commerce platform Ounass. Merchandise planning is the commercial engine behind any fashion retailer, and in this role you will help make sure the right products are bought in the right quantities and timed to sell profitably.

As the posting describes it, you will look after the planning for an assigned division, category or brand on Ounass, translating commercial and buying strategies into workable plans. In practice, that typically means building and managing seasonal sales and stock plans, setting open-to-buy budgets, tracking sell-through and weeks of cover, forecasting demand, and recommending actions such as reorders, markdowns, transfers or changes to future buys. You will work in close partnership with buyers, merchandisers, finance and supply chain.

The posting also mentions contributing to planning tools and process improvements, and ensuring compliance with Al Tayer Group’s financial and operational policies. That suggests a role for someone who is comfortable not only running the numbers but also improving how planning is done, whether that means better reports, cleaner processes or more effective use of planning systems.

The role suits an analytical planner or merchandiser with experience in fashion, luxury or e-commerce retail, strong Excel and reporting skills, a commercial mindset and the confidence to challenge buying decisions with data.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, economics, retail management or a related field

- Experience in merchandise planning, allocation or merchandising, ideally in fashion, luxury or e-commerce retail

- Strong understanding of OTB, sell-through, weeks of cover, margin and markdown management

- Advanced Excel skills; experience with planning systems and BI tools is an advantage

- Ability to build seasonal sales and stock plans and reforecast in-season

- Strong analytical and commercial judgement

- Experience partnering with buyers and finance teams

- Interest in process improvement and planning tools

- Clear communication and presentation skills in English
